Notes for Walter August Hemme
Used the name August Hemme. He lived in Escondido early on and moved to Chowchilla when the Larson family did. He was already set on marrying Alma when he moved.25

{Mable Larson revealed to her daughter that August sexually assaulted her when she was helping her sister Alma around the house soon after Alma had her first child. Fred Webb suggests that could be the reason why Lee Webb never got along with August Hemme.}

All sources of data are documented on the “Person Sheet” for each individual. My early data often came from less-than-reliable sources (e.g., “Sarah’s genealogy pages”). If the only sources for a person is something like that or worse there is no listed source for data, please take the information as only a suggestion and not a fact.
